Campaign Sending API

[technical]

Hi,

Seem to be hitting a snag when I trying to create a new campaign and I keep getting messages saying:

"status": "error",
"error": {
"name": "Campaign name cannot be blank.",
"from_name": "From name cannot be blank.",
"from_email": "From email cannot be blank.",
"subject": "Subject cannot be blank.",
"reply_to": "Reply to cannot be blank."
}
}

I have tried urlencoded and form data via postman and this is the error I seem to be hitting, can somebody help?

Used the same example as mentioned in the API docs but of no use.

Can you confirm that you set body params as i the bellow picture?

Ah ok, I see that the parameter settings seem to be different; it needs to be set with campaign followed by the attribute. Let me give it a try and get back

what is the process for embedding the template unique ID? tried a few methods but all seem to be showing up the same error as Please provide a template for your campaign.

Should be:

campaing[template][template_uid]

and value will be template_uid

hopefully last question
send_at' => date('2023-11-28 14:00:00', strtotime('+10 hours')) even though i have set the time at a later date the campaign send is immediate? Anything I am missing out please?

send_at' => date('2023-11-28 14:00:00', strtotime('+10 hours'))

You need to set the actual date/time. 2023-11-29 12:00:00 or whatever your date is.

Yes twisted that is the actual one, 2023-11-28 time at 14:00 PM London Time, but seems like its triggering immediately so checking with the support

Even if you put it for next week for example?

 

[technical]

Ok let me try that and see

Same thing:

have another question here say i want to use mailwizz as a relay meaning, I want to use the template stored on mailwizz but via the api i call the template but pass the email parameter within the api call is that something that can be achieved

Now that you're showing me that screenshot, you're missing the point entirely. Don't add that date(...) wording, makes no sens. Add just the date.

 

[technical]

Went by this present in the API Docs!!

Probably a change in the doc?

 

[twisted1919]

datetime represents the data type, and in parentheses, you can see the actual format we expect. It's all standard stuff.

Cool
